This is an essay on building your life on values. First of all, what are values? Values are a system of beliefs that we tend to keep with us from birth to death. For example, accepting responsibility; this means that we take ownership of our behavior. Another example is that we are accountable to God for how I lived my life. Who are you living your life for right now? We are living for God and ourselves. Romans 8:10 says since Christ lives within you even though your body will die because of sin, your spirit is alive because you have been made right with God.
Further, we are interdependent on each other. I live my life the way I want to, this is not true. God is watching you. Every decision you make affects someone else. An example of this is the family. If there is a drug problem in the family, it affects each and every person in the family. We are all interdependent of each other. I need to be responsible because God rewards it. Proverbs 13:20 says He who walks with the wise grows wise. The responsible book in the Bible is Proverbs. It teaches you how to manage your life. God will teach us how to be a better person; if you only let Him. When you listen, you change inwardly and outwardly.
Finally, when it comes to dealing with my behavior, I have to really think before I act. I have to really work on my overall character. It is not easy for me because whenever a person is hearing things that does not make any sense; it means that Satan has infiltrated your life. I know for me personally, I have been hearing voices since November 8, 2009. I know that I have problems with my concentration. I have taken medication for it in the past. It only makes things worse.
As far as values are concerned, I value family, education, and freedom. I value the institution of family because family is very important. I have to modify my way of thinking by reading the Bible and praying each day. I also have to learn how to take things one day at a time. I know that I have not been cleaning my apartment the way I should. This is simply because I have to have back surgery very soon. This is because I have 2 herniated disks inside of my lower back. Please keep me in your prayers. Thank you for reading my brief blog.
Sincerely,
Anthony Hopkins
